Note that (at least with my experience using the Flyer and a couple of wide sprung models) that spring performance depends in part on the rider's weight. I tried of Flyer off road after finding a suspension seatpost very comfortable on washboard (the post, a CODA, was cheap and squeaked and I returned it), but my 170 lb couldn't make the Flyer's springs flex enough for comfort. Now of course I ride with less weight on the saddle than some, so perhaps the Flyer works better with an upright position.
Aside: a Softride stem and a susp seatpost -- both circa 1995 -- were wonderfully smooth on washboard. But I then discovered fat, soft, 700c off road tires.
